What are the Conditions of My NEXUS Card?

NEXUS Membership Conditions

Your NEXUS membership is a privilege, not a right, and can be revoked at any time by either the Canada Border Services Agency or by US Customs and Border Protection. Here are the conditions of membership:

You must comply with all customs and immigration laws, regulation and rules or any other laws, regulations and rules that are enforced by either CBSA or US CBP.

You must not let another person use your NEXUS Card.

You must not cross the border by car in a NEXUS lane with passengers who are not NEXUS Card members.

You must return your card if it expires and you have no intention of renewing OR you must destroy your expired card when you get your new card.

Just because you have a NEXUS Card, it does not exempt you from inspection. If you are asked to submit for inspection to CBSA or CBP, you must do so. If you are found to be in contravention of the customs regulations or immigration laws of either country, your card could be seized and your membership revoked.

Lost, Stolen or Damaged NEXUS Cards

You are obligated to inform a NEXUS enrolment centre, if you lose your NEXUS Card, if it is stolen, or even if it is just damaged to the point where you cannot use it any more. If you do not inform them of the lost or theft of your card, and it is recovered, you could lose your membership.
